EXCERPT:

As they marched through Manhattan, they chanted of how the “Big Banks Got Bailed Out, We Got Left Behind.” The Occupy Wall Street protestors found a slogan that resonates with the American people but not many people embrace the protesters views of an economy more regulated by the government.

Seventy-nine percent (79%) of Americans agree with the statement that the “The big banks got bailed but the middle class got left behind.” A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of American adults found that just 10% disagree with that statement and 11% are not sure.

However seems like 100% of Republican candidates believe that the recession was all the fault of unions so the middle class should not be bailed out.

HUH the tea party was against bailouts but called racist.

These dumb idiots are protesting their vote, their being backed by a billionaire Soros, being organized by a multi millionaire Van Jones and supported by millionaires from Hollywood.

These folks have no idea why they’re there and then when they’re asked they still have said they have no clue why they’re there.

So let me get this right
they are protesting how obama their man did the bailouts?
They hate wall street but are protesting their biggest donors, maybe someone needs to tell them that wall street gives more money to the left

This is a shake down to wall street, obama , Van Jones knows wall street is not giving as much money as the last election and so they are doing the Sharpton Jessie Jackson game, we protest until you pay us more as we really need this money and you better hire more people cos we’re looking bad

We have global warming freaks, to commies, to unions, to no war, to homo groups
It is all the lefty groups being told to get out and make a noise but they have not thought to ask why they’re there the dopes. LOL

Even late night TV is making fun of these clowns

“Seventy-nine percent (79%) of Americans agree with the statement that the “The big banks got bailed but the middle class got left behind.””

ok let’s see how they feel without any banks or bank accounts. Sorry no mortgages or car loans. You have to pay everything up front in cash.

On the face of it, it IS true. And I think most FReepers agree. Back in 2008 when TARP was up for a vote most of us here were against it, and that was one of the major issues...

Now, the difference is what we'd do about it, vice the Left. The Left’s course of action is utter folly.

I'd like to see Sarah Palin enter the GOP race and come out swinging, saying, the banks got a bailout and we got nothing! Steal the commie thunder right out of their cloud.

And Sarah, of course, as a conservative, could spell out the ways a true conservative would handle it: “Banks, you're on your own. No one is too big to fail due to poor decisions from management. The US government needs to stop meddling and regulating you to death. No more forcing you to make loans to people who have no way to meet the terms. You sink or swim on your own. Good luck.”
